What will be the next big trend in horror movies?

Is someone other than Rob Zombie directing the sequel?  Because that's the only thing that could save it.  

I agree with your overall point, though, that enough good movies can slip in here and there.

The next trend will be horror movies that involve dead rappers, fast cars and stupid teenagers...again. : (     'Uuuuuugggh' I don't feel so good.

Disease, like in 28 Days Later and that one where the hillbillies had necrotizing faciitis or whatever, might be a long term trend, it's a real fear which lends a quite a bit of credibility to zombie type premises. Another thing I noticed in 28 Days Later that might be the next big trend is movies based on primal and childhood type fears, like abandonment.

I thought of another one; old science fiction movies remade as horror. I saw 28 Days Later with two guys my age and young couple. Us old farts all recognized it as a tribute to Omega Man, the youngsters said it reminded them of ... what's the name of that movie based on the video game with the skinless dobermans and the Russian model named Mooshoo or whatever?

The details are different, but that's already been done as Fox's Murder in Small Town X a couple years ago. Contestants had to solve a murder and each week one of them would be "killed off". Won by a New York Firefighter who was killed on 9/11.

I taped every episode of this show - the last episode was 9/4/01, and the winner was killed a week later trying to get more people out of the Twin Towers. Damn shame.

As far as the current trend in horror flicks, thankfully it looks like gore is making a comeback. Cabin Fever, Wrong Turn, all kinds of wierd movies like this seem to be getting past the MPAA without too much trouble.

Thank God for Lion's Gate.

Resident Evil starring Milla Jovovich.

i think the next frontier for the "quote un quote" "horror" movies of our time will be insane clowns perhaps. But no matter what it will be about we need some new writers because the recent films have sucked such as halloween and friday the 13th and jason and cabin fever or whatnot... we need some of those 40s to 60s style films in black and white maybe and some scary stuff not just gore and violence altough that is good just we need horror back in our horror movies. We need a new modern day H.B. Lovecraft to bring back the good old days style of writing and filmaking. Please respond to me through my email adress if u want to discuss thi because i have alot to say but im not gonna add it cause noone is realli gonna read this but if u wanna see it email me at bal516@yahoo.com.
